Millennials #Hashtag This-35 Years From Now, Bangladesh Wants America to Accept 30 Million of its People

The  #hashtag Millennial Generation is the most smug generation in their self righteous morality in the history of civilization, and that includes the Victorians, and that is saying something.  In 2050, their #hashtag morality will be put to the ultimate test, as future President Selena Gomez Joli-Uhuru  will have to make a decision on the cosmological  plight of 30 million Bangladeshis. For those Millennials with diminished math skills, that is merely 35 years away.

The People's Republic of Bangladesh (Gônôprôjatôntri Bangladesh), used to be part of the British Indian Empire, the British Raj. In the 1947 partition of the Raj between Muslim Pakistan and Hindu India, Bangladesh, being overwhelmingly Muslim, opted to join the Republic of Pakistan. Pakistan became a nation of Muslims, divided into West Pakistan and East Pakistan (Bangladesh), and separated by 1200 km of Indian Territory (740 miles). Bangladesh  was and is bordered by India on the west, north, and east. To the south, it faces the Bay of Bengal. In the year 2000, Bangladesh had 129 million citizens, making it the world’s eighth most populous country. It is arguably the most densely populated.

In 1971, the Muslim East Pakistanis rebelled against the Muslim Western Pakistanis in the brutal Bangladesh Liberation War. It was a savage war; Bangladeshi liberation was only brought to fruition when the Indian Army, under direct orders from the great Feminist, and by her gender supposedly  Pacifist, Indira Gandhi, invaded East Pakistan, ending the bloody war with the establishment of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh and India share a 4,096-kilometer (2,545-mile)-long international border, the fifth-longest land border in the world”.

Bangladesh is a poor country, of hard working people, an overflow of hard working people, with more coming. By the year 2050, Bangladesh will have a population of 205 million people, a 58.75% increase over the 2000 population.

Bangladesh 2000-2050

Bangladesh can barely sustain and feed its people today; in 2050, with a population of 205 million people, that would be a very difficult task.
Difficult will not be true, it will be impossible for Bangladesh to feed its population internally in the year 2050, because of Climate Change. By 2050, 25-30% of Bangladesh will be under water, lost to the Bay of Bengal.

“Currently the rice crops are being flooded by sea water and a new strain of rice crops which is resistant to salt water is being developed.”

The development of the new salt water resistant rice seed is sputtering; the Bangladeshi population growth is not.

In the year 2050, the compassion, nay morality of the Millennial generation, with their omnipresent #hashtag solutions will be sorely tested, for there will be 30 million Bangladeshis Climate Change Migrants, looking to come West,  more specifically to Obama’s  Compassionate America.

“Up to 20 million Bangladeshis may be forced to leave the country in the next 40 years because of climate change, one of the country's most senior politicians has said. Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, Bangladesh's finance minister, called on Britain and other wealthy countries to accept millions of displaced people.

In a clear signal to the US and Europe ...Abdul Muhith said Bangladesh wanted hosts for managed migration as people began to abandon flooded and storm-damaged coastal areas.

"Twenty million people could be displaced [in Bangladesh] by the middle of the century," Abdul Muhith told the Guardian. "We are asking all our development partners to honour the natural right of persons to migrate. We can't accommodate all these people – this is already the densest [populated] country in the world," he said.

He called on the UN to redefine international law to give climate refugees the same protection as people fleeing political repression. "The convention on refugees could be revised to protect people. It's been through other revisions, so this should be possible," he said.
We can't accommodate all these people – this is already the densest [populated] country in the world," he said.
... this is the first time that a senior politician from a developing country has openly proposed that those countries considered responsible for climate change should take physical responsibility for the refugees created.

....The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the scientific body that assesses the impact of climate change, has said there could be 200 million climate change migrants by 2050.

Abdul Muhith said managed migration could be positive for Bangladesh and the west: "We can help in the sense of giving the migrants some training, making them fit for existence in some other country.

Managed migration is always better – we can then send people who can attune to life more easily." But he added, in another warning  where money will be a critical issue, that current levels of aid were inadequate. "Total aid in Bangladesh today is less than 2% of GDP. It is almost the same in China and in India. So we, the most populated, least developed country, gets peanuts. This inequity is terribly intolerable."

"If you had 30 or 40 million migrating to other parts of the world, that's a sizable problem for which we have to prepare. And if it requires changes to immigration laws and facilitating people settling down and working in the developed countries, then I suppose this will require legislative action in the developed world," he said.

He said there was a danger of a backlash in rich countries. "The climate in Europe, North America and Australia is not conducive to a relaxed debate about increasing migration. There is a worry doors will shut if we start that discussion," he said....THE GUARDIAN UK”.

The official line from Bangladesh is that 20 million Bangladeshis will be displaced and become Climate Change migrants. India believes it will be 30 million Bangladeshis on the move.

Bangladeshi think tanks think it could be up to 40 million.

“Bangladesh is on the front line of climate change. This densely populated, low lying nation already faces regular catastrophic flooding. By 2050, when its population will top 200 million, Bangladesh stands to lose 20% of its land mass to rising seas. Thirty-forty million Bangladeshis will be displaced. Where will they go? Major General (Ret.) ANM Muniruzzaman, President of the Bangdladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies looks at how climate change will affect Bangladesh and the impact it will have on regional and global security.”

Where will they go?

India?

India has already made its decision about whether to let into their Hindu predominate nation, 30 to 40 million Bangladeshi Muslims.
India has built a border fence along the entire length of its border with Bangladesh (see the picture below), as this Blog is being written, India is electrifying that fence, the total, entire fence, every kilometer.

India has created a Border Patrol, a Grande Armee, of 240,000 members to patrol the India/Bangladeshi border; they have killed over 1200 Bangladeshi migrants since Climate Change migration has been memorialized.

India will not take the Bangladeshis.

This Blogger was at a Diwali party, and there he discussed the Bangladesh situation with a retired member of India’s Intelligence Agency.

When this Blogger asked about the Bangladeshi Climate Migrants in 2050, he laughed” Gerry we have a H-bomb, and in 2050, there will be no Pakistan or Communist China to threaten us, but there will be 30 million Bangladeshi migrants. Issue closed.”

India has accepted the moral challenge of doing everything possible to keep out the Bangladeshi migrants.

"DHAKA, Bangladesh — …Dhaka is the world's most densely populated megacity, with more than 15 million people as of 2011, the most recent year for which a number is available. The overstuffed metropolis struggles to accommodate its current residents. Power outages and blackouts are frequent. The streets are clogged. Sewage pipes, when they exist at all, often back up and spill into the streets.

Despite its dysfunctions, Dhaka is packing in more people every day. Precise numbers are elusive, but tens of thousands of rural migrants arrive every month, crowding into its slums, according to demographers at the nonprofit Population Council. ….. Half of Bangladesh's population lives less than 17 feet above sea level, …. The fertile delta has long taken its nourishment from the water and nutrient-rich sediment from the Himalayas washing down the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and 800 other rivers and tributaries that braid their way to the sea….

"The land itself changed…It used to be muddy. It became more dusty." A landscape frosted with salt residue….By midcentury, as many as 1 billion people will find their lives disrupted -- and even might be permanently forced from their homes -- due to flooding and other climatic events, according to the 
International Organization for Migration….Bangladesh offers a preview of a hotter, crowded world forced to deal with climate disruptions.

"It will be the biggest mass migration in history," says Maj. Gen. A.N.M. Muniruzzaman, a retired Army officer who is now president of the Bangladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies in Dhaka. His country, he said, is not prepared to handle the basic food, water, and sanitation needs of so many displaced people.

Meanwhile, population growth adds to the pressure. The country's population is projected to reach more than 200 million by midcentury. The growth is not a result of high birthrates. The government has developed a successful family-planning program, resulting in a drop in fertility from an average of seven children per woman in the 1970s to slightly more than two children today. 

Instead, the growth comes from sheer population momentum, as millions of young couples enter their childbearing years. Even if they hold themselves to two children apiece, the United Nations projects that another 43 million people will be packed into a country about the size of Iowa. FOREIGN POLICY “

Bangladeshi intellectuals have formulated a plan to help their 30 million fellow citizens in peril, The U.S. Navy.

Bangladeshi intellectuals are developing an action plan for the US Navy to retrofit, to get out of the war and defending business, and dedicate all its resources to ferrying Bangladeshis to either San Francisco or Los Angeles in 2050. They anticipate that the U.S. President, following in President Obama’ footsteps, will give them Executive Amnesty.

America currently has a population of 321 million; it is low on water and jobs. In 2050, the American population should grow by 16%, up to 372 million, with less fresh water and fewer jobs( because of robots) than it has now; the seminal question of the 21st Century is this: will the pampered Millennial Generation allow 30 million Bangladeshis (fervent Muslims who oppose Same-Sex Marriage and Gender Equality) to arrive and settle in California? Or leave them in salty Bangladesh to starve.

Alas, this Blogger will not be alive in 2050 to sit on the sideline and chortle as the Millennial Generation has to make the greatest Moral Decision since Pontius Pilate.

From his grave, this Blogger will know this; the Millennials will not survive the world they have created with their faux #hashtag morality.

This dead Blogger’s advice to Millennials is this: pray that the Apocalypse comes before 2050.

The Urination Of Nicole Kidman's Career

I went to see EYES WIDE SHUT in total awe of its Director, Stanley Kubrick, who had in his career Directed THE GREATEST Science Fiction/Cosmological film EVER- 2001, SPACE ODYSSEY, the BEST and MOST INSIGHTFUL film essay on American culture EVER- LOLITA, arguably the greatest war movie ever- PATHS OF GLORY, and one of the best film epics ever- SPARTACUS. Mr. Kubrick died SUDDENLY, before EYES WIDE SHUT was released. Everyone was so sad. Then I saw EYES WIDE SHUT, and understood exactly why Herr Director Kubrick had croaked so suddenly; he had willed himself to death before the release of the film, so that  he would not have to suffer the slings and shots against his declining genius. EYES WIDE SHUT is the WORST, laughably worst, porn film ever made, EVER. It starred that larger than life couple(at the time), Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The key scene in the film was Ms. Kidman peeing. I was spending over $60.00(including tickets,parking and snacks for me and my date ) to watch

The Crash of Flight 447: Fate, Moliere and Veronique Gaignard

In 1954 there was the film, THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY about danger in the air; that was followed by the 1964 film, FATE IS THE HUNTER about a fatal airplane crash and the followup investigation; followed by the 1970 film, AIRPORT, about a bomber on a plane, starring every living star in Hollywood at the time; followed by  the sequels, AIRPORT 75, AIRPORT 77, AIRPORT 79- THE CONCORDE. All that melodramatic danger in the air was laughed to death by the films AIRPLANE in 1980, followed by AIRPLANE II in 1982. Everything in air flight had been covered, both the tragedy and the comedy  of air travel, until Air France Flight 447. Flight 447 was the Air France  Airbus Flight from Brazil to France, which,in 2009, crashed in the South Atlantic , killing all on board,228 passengers. Airbuses fly by wire, which means they fly by computers rather than the old mechanical ways.  Very up to date, except when something goes awry, then it seems it is very difficult to set right.

Roger Cohen's Russian Think Piece in NEW YORK TIMES Begs the Question: Was Gerry Maxey Right about Russia TEN YEARS AGO?

  This Blogger respects Russians; as Frederick the Great stated :” It takes two bullets to take a Russian soldier out; one to kill him and one to  stop him.” This Blogger   likes Russians; even though once, in Moscow, during the Soviet era, his incredibly attractive tour guide, aka KGB agent, told him and his brother   that they were in danger of being hit, fatally, by a Soviet car crossing a Moscow street. T his Blogger’s brother told her that he had ridden in a Soviet Car, the LADA; and that he could damn well survive any hit by that piece of junk. She laughed. That night, this Blogger’s brother slept in his room, under his bed, drunk. This Blogger admires the way Russians do business; when Soviet diplomats were kidnapped in Lebanon, the KGB paid the ransoms immediately, without complaint. Shortly thereafter, Beirut was flooded with Soviet agents and Soviet bribes; the kidnappers were identified. They were abducted, tortured and  castrated; their dead bodies strung from l
